Princess Cruises’ newest ship ready for launch

Princess Cruises’ latest
addition to its fleet, Regal Princess, has achieved a major milestone in
preparation for its first sailing on May 20, 2014. The 19 deck ship, which can
accommodate 3,600 guests, has successfully completed its sea trials, which
involved a series of steering, propulsion and navigation
tests. Regal Princess will be ready for
her maiden voyage from Venice, a seven-day Mediterranean sailing to Athens
including stops in Corfu, Mykonos and an overnight call in
Istanbul.

Throughout the summer the ship
will continue to sail across the Mediterranean.

· 16 bars and restaurants including three dining rooms· A luxury spa and fitness
centre· A
dramatic over-water SeaWalk, a top-deck glass-bottomed walkway extending more
than 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship·
The ‘Chef’s Table Lumiere’, a private dining
experience that surrounds diners in a curtain of light· Balconies on all outside
staterooms

Regal Princess has two
additional features - access to the promenade on deck seven, which will enable
guests to walk the length of the ship, and an additional swimming pool on the
aft deck.
